I was up all night making my wife's computer work again after it's power supply failed... and I may have inhaled some of that blue smoke that comes out of computers when they fry in the process... and I took some Ibuprofen for a toothache... and am running entirely on coffee and rice crackers.

Long story short... Ideal time for me to be creative... but also higher then normal likelyhood of incomprehensibility and testiness.

So, I've found the following to be useful to me in the past so I'll just put it out there for y'all. I created a cludgey greasemonkey script that makes it so's people's character names show up beside their forum names... will work "out of the box" on Chrome, but you will need to install the "greasemonkey" plugin on most other browsers... like firefox... also, it will need to be modified whenever a new thread is added.

Wonderful. Can't wait to start and have real life get in the way from enjoying it fully. :p

EDIT: Quick thought: At least my preference is to write the romanization of the Chinese (like you did the second time) in italics as it's easier on the mind to imagine someone saying "Bun tyen shung duh ee dway ro" vs 笨天生的一堆肉 as I have no idea what that would sound like. Just my .002 (inflation adjusted).

The ship is in good enough shape - you could do better repairs if you had the time and equipment, but it's not in any danger of spontaneous oxidation or the like. The panels are made true, the structure is sound.

The people seem to be about what they appear. Various assorteds, a handgun or two, but nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

Sooooooo... Just wanted to mention that Harvey's "Part Machine-ness" is not meant to be obvious... he doesn't keep it a secret but you'd need to be knowledgeable about cybernetics (like Patrick West) to notice anything other then the fact I walk with a limp and have kinda weirdly coloured eyes. He'll likely take off his gloves and duster when he's working on repairs and the like so people on the ship won't take long to notice the difference but they wouldn't think of him as a "machine man" yet at this point in the game.
